Allen County Quitclaim Deed (Partnership or Limited Partnership Grantor) Form

A partnership never signs a deed. A partner signs for it, in the partnership name, which is what K.S.A. 56a-302 says: partnership property held in the name of the partnership moves by an instrument of transfer executed by a partner in that name. The grantor here is a general partnership, a limited partnership, or a limited liability partnership holding the record title, and the K.S.A. 58-2204 quitclaim carries whatever interest it holds at delivery while promising nothing about it. Searches landing here read partnership quitclaim deed, quit claim deed from a limited partnership, or LP deed.

Real property gets carved out of the partnership act

Under K.S.A. 56a-301 each partner is an agent of the partnership, and a partner's execution of an instrument in the partnership name binds the entity where the act apparently carries on ordinary business. Real estate takes its own track. K.S.A. 56a-303(a) lets a partnership file a statement of partnership authority naming the partners authorized to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the partnership name. Subsection (d)(1) makes a filed grant of authority conclusive for a person giving value, then opens with the words except for transfers of real property. Land answers to subsection (d)(2): that effect attaches only where a certified copy of the filed statement is recorded with the register of deeds of the county where the ground lies, and subsection (e) mirrors the rule for limitations. A Secretary of State filing alone reaches neither result. Section 8 holds the recording reference of that certified copy, or None; the copy is obtained and recorded separately and is not included here.

Who signs, and what the deed asserts

Section 1 names the partnership, its type, and the jurisdiction under whose law it is organized; Section 2 names the signing partner and the capacity claimed. The grantee entry between them carries any co-ownership designation and the tax statement address K.S.A. 58-2221 routes to the county clerk. Section 11 recites the K.S.A. 56a-203 rule that partnership property belongs to the partnership rather than to the partners individually, along with the authority the signer claims; the recital states the authority the signer asserts and does not by itself establish, prove, or confirm what the partnership agreement permits. One signature block carries a printed name line, the K.S.A. 28-115(c) practice, and one certificate follows in the Kansas representative capacity short form: under K.S.A. 53-5a02(a) a representative signer declares that the record was signed with proper authority, as the act of the entity named in it. Patterns of this shape include a family limited partnership releasing an undivided fractional interest to the cotenant holding the balance, a partnership quieting a fence line, and a deed signed by the partner a newly recorded statement names. Record title standing in individual partners' names takes a different route under K.S.A. 56a-302, and an agreement requiring two partners to execute presents a second signature line this layout does not carry.

Kansas names these entities by statute

K.S.A. 17-7921(a) requires a limited partnership's name to contain Limited Partnership or the abbreviation L.P. or LP, and K.S.A. 17-7922 requires a limited liability partnership's name to end with one of six designations, from registered limited liability partnership down to LLP. K.S.A. 56-1a253(a) then gives a general partner the rights and powers of a partner in a partnership without limited partners, which routes a limited partnership deed back to those sections.

What travels, and what waits at the counter

None of the covenants K.S.A. 58-2203 hangs on conveys and warrants appear here, so encumbrances ride through untouched and the grantee reads the title from the county record, which K.S.A. 58-2222 makes notice from the time it is filed. No spousal consent block is drawn, the grantor being a partnership rather than a married person. Intake then asks the usual Kansas pair: the Department of Revenue questionnaire K.S.A. 79-1437c demands, or an exemption stated on the instrument under K.S.A. 79-1437e, plus the K.S.A. 28-115 fee of twenty-one dollars for page one and seventeen after.

The download delivers the fillable form, a completed example set in Ellis County where a limited partnership's general partner releases an undivided one-half interest in a quarter section of farm ground to the cotenant for cash, and a guide that walks every numbered section, the partnership act standing behind that signature, the representative certificate, and the trip to the register of deeds. Nothing in the package applies Kansas law to a particular partnership or transaction, and none of it is legal advice.
